Recipe #6: Deviled Eggs

Recipe #7: Jicama French Fries
I decided to jump on the jicama band wagon and see how they stack up against potatoes as a burger side. The results = Delicious! It?s all about the seasoning ? but jicama has a very potato-like texture (minus the carbs) and with some manipulating, turned out great.
